Anybody try Carista app with B9 yet?

**cameraz** · 06-10-2016 09:48 AM

Has anybody tried to program things on their B9 using the Carista app yet? I'm sure Carista hasn't updated its features for the new A4 yet, but maybe some of the existing features will work . . . like opening the windows with a long press on the remote, etc.?

I don't know why this isn't just a standard feature on all car's with remotes now.

I emailed Carista a couple of months ago asking when they might support the new Q7 & A4 (also a 2016 VW Jetta). To date - nothing but crickets

Guess they're not really into customer service.

Don't all the windows and sunroof open already with a long press of the remote? I tried it recently.

You're absolutely right! I guess I wasn't holding the button down long enough. Thanks.

I too am also wondering if the Carista is working on the B9, maybe I should get off my butt and check with my Carista and the B9 that is sitting in my driveway LOL

Let us know what you find out!

Ok, got off my lazy butt and checked this out tonight. Used my Carista OBD port bluetooth dongle in the B9 A4 with my Carista app on my iPhone 6S. All apps and iOS most current versions.

First ran "Check Faults" - took about 7 minutes to run.

I think I actually got a couple faults ...

CAN network gateway:
16646147 - Control Module

Infotainment system:
06696
07223

Obtained with Carista 2.6 for iOS.

Hi guys, I'm the founder of Carista and I wanted to let you know that we are indeed working on it. But we need help from beta-testers. If you have an OBD adapter and a B9, please send us "debug data" through Carista. See the last FAQ at the bottom of this page for instructions: http://www.caristaapp.com/help/

Thanks!

Good to see you participating in the Forum. Does this request for debug data apply to the new Q7 also?

**audinator** · 07-14-2016 12:26 PM

I will send data tonight

Yes, that would be great :) We're looking into all the new models in the VAG group.

Any updates on the app? looking to do needle sweep, disable seatbelt chimes and showing gears in D and S. I paid for full year + dongle for my b8.5 and didn't expect it to be ~120CAD.... hope you can release those mods for b9 soon to justify the purchase !
